Have a 2N Ford with a drawbar installed. I want to put a ball hitch on the drawbar to pull a trailer. There is a bracket that can be installed on the drawbar and lift arms to keep the drawbar from rotating. What are these called and does anyone know where to get them??
I saw some for a class 3 hitch, but they are much too big. Thanks!

Here is something I drew up on a napkin when I had access to a free machine shop. (I'm retired now)

Just 8n's has a drawbar lock listed for 19.00 DBL-2 under Hydraulic Lift & related Parts. (Keeps 11 hole drawbar from turning).

There are drawbar locks as mentioned above, as well as some other ideas folks have dreamed up that are all a bit different. Some are better at specific tasks than others.

See this link for a similar discussion:

This is similar to what I use:

I think SouNdguy made this one:

There are other contraptions too, so take a look at what is out there...

I'm sure others will post after me with other ideas.

I think you are talking about the drawbar lock. See the link below for one source for this part.

Here is another option that will allow you to add a ball.

A short piece of square tubing that will fit over the drawbar and two lengths flat stock will make a draw bar lock.If you dont have square tubing it only takes a few minutes to weld up some angle steel.
